Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda

(By Śrīla Sanātana Gosvāmī himself including a deep purport of that commentary)

The Vaiṣṇavas say, “Take 岹śԲ of the Deity Śrī 󲹱, who is the exact replica of Śrī Vaikuṇṭha-ٳ, the Lord of the universe, and repeatedly prostrate yourself before Him. One can receive His 岹śԲ only by hearing and meditating on topics about Him. In this way, you shall personally perceive everything about His glories, even beyond what we have and have not narrated.�
